Such a good readership El Reg. Not one person argued that Romford is in Essex. It took 54 years but we're finally getting there!

Let's hope...

I can finally get to read The Bristol Post's coverage of The Mighty Gas. At present it is a soul destroying exercise, one false move and I'm directed off to some web advertisement oblivion.

Was rather amazed to get a new job with a financial software company implementing solutions at the ripe old age of 59.

Privacy policy links to parkingcrew.net which McAfee considers a malicious site.

Good to see Bono even managed to get in the video.

There has been a lot of promo for the PlayBar of late. Makes me wonder if they are shifting surplus stock for a new model that supports an HDMI input and this decade's surround sound formats.

Free access to porn for Android users.

Never trust a man who doesn't wear a belt.

He was only supposed to blow the bloody bed up

This is merely a tactic to make us avoid German sunbed areas around hotel swimming pools.

I signed up to Feedly Pro a few minutes ago, reached my Register feed, clicked preview on this article and got a blank screen. Great start!

Just downloaded the Android app, you can log in with a Facebook account but not a Google one!

Jessie J

Whenever I get bored I go round the web correcting articles that assert Jessie J was born in Essex. It doesn't help that she states this in the first page of her autobiography.

Rovio make Angry Birds, Roxio rip CDs and DVDs.

Or $299 for a Nexus 4 unlocked

It's an expensive business being a fanboi, maybe this explains why free wifi is slurped by such a high proportion of iMac users.

It would be handy if they could launch a new iPad in the next three weeks. The Regent Street fanbois could buy their new phones, walk outside then join the back of the queue to form a new queue.

Thrice shy unfortunately

It's a lovely looking phone and the strength of the case and screen would make it an ideal present for those clumsier people on my birthday list. But it is a Motorola phone so the chances of getting timely software updates in the near future and any whatsoever after a year or so are remote. I bought the original Milestone, got sick of waiting for Android updates. Bought a Xoom, turned out the Google Experience was only felt within God's own country and have never seen as much frustration on any technology subject as that expressed in the Motorola forums.

Even if it had a virtual keyboard and holographic display like the fanboi's iPhone that fooled Fox 5 in New York the name Motorola on the phone will ultimately end in tears.

Reminds me of the English Schools Senior Boys 400M Hurdles semi-finals in 1975. First time around I qualified for the final. Then it was revealed that one set of hurdles in my race was on the wrong marker so they moved them in time for the second semi. Their times stood, we had to run again 2 hours later, bear in mind this is not the easiest of events to recover from. My time was slower of course and I didn't make it through as a fastest loser. I also had a leg of the 4x100M relay in between just to add to the fun.

It's a shame it won't make the most of that enormous catalogue 2048x1536 resolution movies the fanbois slobber over.

Sound?

As ever I read a review touting 1080p but not a single mention of sound options. I had a G9 which worked well with loud volumes but mono, G12 I now have is stereo but loud volumes are hopeless. I have approaching 3 million live concert hits on YouTube but have never seen a compact camera review cover high volume handling so simply buy blind..... err deaf.

Ah yes, TeleAtlas. Google Maps used them. It took almost two years for them to change the fictional Lugsmoor Lane in SW1 to the actual Cleveland Row after i reported it. London walking guides are full of references to the fictional Lugsmoor Lane, rather gives away that the person who wrote the guide had never actually done the walk and taken notes.

With all that space for extras it's disappointing to see nothing about the Swedish Du-reformen and it's relationship to The Knights Who Say Ni.

The next Google Experience Nexus device most likely to excite my debit card. Tempting though Samsung and HTC phones may be there's nothing quite like having a vanilla Android phone with the latest OS and none of that annoying waiting around for manufacturer customisations to be tested.

Get Geoff Shreeves to interview them and point out in his own special way that they will be locked up for the rest of their life.

Siri?

When they do start selling it I suspect the Chinese fanbois will describe the voice control feature as "silly".

Or maybe just go for the older model

The 56PFL9954 is a 5p under a grand at Richer Sounds.
